Giants assistant Jack Bicknell Jr. to be hired as Kansas City Chiefs' offensive line coach

Chris Faytok/The Star-LedgerGiants head coach Tom Coughlin has two vacancies to fill on his coaching staff, after assistant Jack Bicknell Jr. left to join the Kansas City Chiefs' coaching staff.

Giants assistant coach Jack Bicknell Jr. is expected to be hired as the Kansas City Chiefs' offensive line coach, according to someone informed of the impending hire.

The person requested anonymity because Kansas City hasn't yet announced the addition of Bicknell to Romeo Crennel's staff. Bicknell, a native of North Plainfield, interviewed with the Chiefs last week.

Bicknell, 49, has been the Giants' assistant offensive line coach under Pat Flaherty for the past three seasons. Previously, he was an assistant and head coach for three college programs. He served as a graduate assistant at Boston College in 1986 for his father Jack Sr., the Philadelphia Eagles' head coach from 1981-90, and returned to the program as offensive line coach from 2007-08. Jack Jr., whose brother Bob is the Buffalo Bills' tight ends coach, was the head coach at Louisiana Tech from 1999-2006.
